FLORALS / A LINUS BIKE GIVEAWAY!

we east side girls traveled west to visit linus bikes in venice beach. just off the abbot kinney strip and down a tiny garden path is a beach bungalow surrounded with bikes and full of beautifully made baskets, bells, and all sorts of other must haves to style your ride.

i really love the linus look! sleek and chic. reminiscent of the french bicycle design of the 50’s and 60’s. its with this spirit that the sweet people at linus let us take the bikes out on the town for an afternoon of flowers, farmers markets, and fresh juice. all day long I kept saying to myself that it doesn’t get better than this!

in keeping with the spring farmers market afternoon i filled the baskets with all sorts of spring flowers like daffodils, ranunculus, fritillaria. i also incorporated sweet pea tendrils and kale into this bouquet to give it that extra from the garden touch.

another great find of the day were the beautiful white forsythia branches which have a sweet fragrance. (i must have left a spring scented trail behind me.)

if in venice be sure to take stroll into linus. we heart them and their bikes! –kristen

and guess what! we are GIVING AWAY A BIKE!

here’s how to win one of these linus bikes! (CLOSED)

1. head over to the linus bikes site and tell me your favorite product from their shop! bike or basket 🙂 and leave us a comment below! we hope this ends up in the hands of someone who has been really wanting a new bike!

eeeeep! would love a bike… i’ve missed riding around houston since my bike got nabbed last year. (now have garage to keep it safe). anywho, favorite accessory would be the nantucket pannier (and the market sac, to boot). fingers crossed.

My bike (my way to work) was stolen!!! It made me sad, but the Roadster Classic in cream or rosewood would make me so happy!!! I would have to get the wire rear basket to go with it…Thanks for this chance!

Ahh, spring! What an inspiring layout with the flowers and the market. I have been saving up for a Linus bike — love the dutchi 1 style in cream. I’d accessorize with that cool headlamp and rear wire baskets in teal. While it’s dreamy in your California setting, it’s the perfect New England bike, too. I’ll be riding in style through the Cambridge, MA bike lanes if you pick me. Thanks, Bri.

The Mixte 3 in cream is beautiful and slightly vintage! I’m moving into the city this summer and need a bike before-hand so i can really take advantage of the great weather and summer activities… even when commuting (whether its to the beach, street fests, the local deli or any other place i can get to without compromising for the train.)

thanks for introducing everyone to this site! just what i’ve been looking for.

I am totally looking for a new bike. The one I have now barely has brakes and has been to Burning Man twice, coming home a bit shabbier and dustier each time. My favourite is the Roaster Classic in small – I’m excited they have smaller bikes for petite girls!

I’ve been shopping around for bikes, and haven’t found anything perfect yet. Having this newbie would be a sweet way to ring in my fresh move to Austin as a new, frugal freelancer. Someone is going to be a lucky lady (or gent).

As a Chicago city girl I have been itching to get a bike for the last 6 years that I have lived here! I’ve yet to find something that suited my style though until I saw these beautiful gems. Sadly out of my price range, I can daydream (or cross my fingers to win!).

I’d get the cream Roadster, put on some gold glitter tape in stripes around parts of the frame and daydream about that basil yellow basket and apple green bike saddle!. *swoon*

Holy lovely photos and beautiful bikes! I don’t drive (my low vision can’t be corrected to pass the vision test), so a bike would be perfect for this gal! I’ve been wanting one for a long time, and that Dutchi1 just stole a little piece of my heart…!

I adore the Dutchi 1 in cream, would be a great 30th birthday gift (on the 23!!) to ride around sunny san diego in the summertime with a cute little basket to carry all my beach/farmers market/festival gear!

Im so glad you did a post with Linus! I go in there nearly every weekend and stare at the beauty that the MIXTE3 Limited Edition…THAT HEAD LAMP! I die. I finally got a used bike a few weeks ago and it completely broke apart on me. I will use this EVERY DAY, Id be so completely stoked! 😉

Love this post – the styling, everything is gorgeous. My favorite practical accessory is the head lamp and favorite splurge would be the child seat. I would love to take my 2.5 year old on rides through the neighborhood this summer!

Oh my gosh! This give away came at the perfect time! I recently had a bike stollen when I left it outside of my office (even though it was locked up!). Desperately seeking a cool new urban bike to commute to and from school/work. I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico – an incredibly bike friendly city. I would love to be able to cruise around this summer in a brand new bike! I had been looking at Public Bikes in San Francisco to get the Euro look I want in a bike, but these Linus bikes are AMAZING! I have never heard of this company before, and now I’m completely smitten! Please please consider me for this give away – I have my little heart set on the Dover 1 model in grey. Really really beautiful design 🙂

I’ve been eyeing the Linus Dutchi 1 bike in cream for quite some time. Living in Chicago without a car for 7 years means that getting from place to place isn’t always the easiest. Winning this bike would be a big game changer, plus they’re so perfectly made!

Good morning! What a great contest. I would absolutely love to win this bike.. considering I do not have one and spring is hopefully right around the corner (I live in Iowa :-/) and I would loveee to break the warm weather in with a lovely bike ride.

My favorite product was the “The Near Wire Basket” in teal. Even though I do not have a bike I’m contemplating buying it just for an accessory around the house!

This is too good to be true! I live in Davis, which means bikes on bikes on bikes, and I’ve been pedaling on my cruiser’s last leg for awhile now. A new bike, especially a Linus one, would be a dream to ride. As for a favorite product, I’m now eyeing that teal rear wire basket—I’ve only ever seen them in white or black, so that would be perfect for standing out in Davis’s sea of bikes!

It’s so hard to pick just one beautiful thing among so many! My heart skips a beat at the sight of the spring green Dutchi. I can imagine many trips to the farmer’s market with that gorgeous set of wheels. Green veggies to match a green bike!

I’ve been meaning to replace my beach cruiser with a more practical bike since I’ve moved to DTLA. The Dutchi 1 in Cream with adjustable rear rack and market bag would be perfect to ride around the city!

I love the rear wire baksets…SO CUTE! The bike I would choose is the Dutchi 1 in cream. I would definitely ride the bike to work everyday and to the farmer’s market every weekend. Oh, the possibilities!

I am so wishing I could be Bri in Paris right now. I miss it so much and am saving up money to go back, hopefully soon! It would be SO amazing to ride the dutchi 1 bike in cream around town to work and enjoy sunny days. The Nantucket baskets are so cute to ride around to farmers markets as well- if only I could be a Parisian girl!

This post is amazing! I’ve been dreaming of a new bike since last spring! The Mixte 3 in sky blue is beyond beautiful, but any of the Linus bikes would be a dream to ride around the lake on warm days, make my weekly haul to and from the farmers market, ride in style to work…the list goes on and on! Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway Bri!

i would adore the roadster classic with the rear wire basket! it would be perfect for me to pick up my groceries here in SF, since i don’t have a car. it would also be fantastic for my short commute to work in downtown sf. i could ditch muni and have a nice bike ride into work! thanks for your consideration! 🙂

My husband and I just recently moved to Santa Monica from the east coast! I would love to have this bike to explore our new surroundings:) I really like the Dutchi 1 in green. Regardless I will be making a trip to Linus to check it out. Thank you!

The Mixte 3 is so cute! I already have a beach cruiser (an Elvis themed one at that…) but it’s so heavy. I’d love a new bike that’s lighter and easier to get around, and also not too big for me. My Elvis is about 6 inches too tall and with my clumsiness there have been some pretty embarrassing moments trying to get on and off.

If I won, I’d love the roadster in cream, and I’d probably have to purchase a cute basket for it too!

I want the Dutch 1 in cream! I sort of forgot how to ride a bike (even though everyone says one never forgets, i did). Getting a brand new bike would be the perfect motivation to get off my tush and gain that confidence back.

My heart just skipped a beat when I saw this on instagram! I love the cream Dutchi bike with the rear wire basket. I love how timeless it looks. I’ve wanted my own bike my whole life!! I’m so excited to ride around to the local horses and pick wildflowers where I live. I can imagine wearing my Toms booty wedges and a cream lace dress with a yellow flower in my hair. Wow thanks 🙂

Your Parisian bike adventure sounds like a slice of heaven! I love the dutchi1, so cute with that perfect vintage feel. The Nantucket adult lightship tapered basket is to die for too! How cute for riding around town and gathering flowers or produce from the local farmers market 🙂

The Roadster Classic is pretty much bike perfection. Especially with adding a rear rack to it! And it would be wonderful considering my husband’s only bike was recently damaged beyond repair. 🙁 We live downtown and try to bike everywhere as much as we can.

Thanks for posting this contest! I’m glad I know about this bike company, I love all their bikes and accessories!

I really like the Dutchi in cream – it’s a beautiful, classic bike. My current bike is on it’s last leg, but my 11-year-old terrier (who is too old to go for long walks now) loves to get into her bike basket and go for a ride. I know she’d love to cruise around town in this beauty!

The Basil Bottle Rear Basket (in yellow!) is a dream! And would go oh so nice with the green Dutchi 1. I don’t own a car, so biking with a basket to Trader Joe’s for groceries would be the BEST! Thanks!

So cute! The Dutchi 1 in cream is my favorite. I would love to dress it up with so many accessories for spring, summer and fall bike rides.
I would be dressing it up with “THE DELANO BASKET”… conveniently my last name!

WOW! I cannot believe LINUS is the giveaway item! This is too good to be true, I have had my eye of the Rosewood Roaster for longer than I can imagine; so clearly, the roaster is by far my fav. It is classy and classic and that frame is flawlessly gorgeous! I have been waiting to get a bike until I moved down into the flat part of my little town in San Diego – now that I have finally made the move just a bike ride away from the beach, farmer’s markets, my favorite craft store and coffee shop it is time to put my car away and bring a Linus out to play!

I’m a college freshman now and planning to live off-campus starting this summer. I wanted a bike since beginning of college…looking at all the thrift/antique shops around town, but my legs weren’t long enough for the most models (Asian problem), sigh. But the Dutchi1 looks PERFECT. (spring green) And it would be awesome to ride down the the street on it. Also the wire rear basket is beautiful.
I’ve never had a bike to call my own, but this would be my dream come true–first one to be achieved as a college student!

I have been dreaming of a bike to ride since I was a little girl. Last summer, I found a used one for $20 at a garage sale but it now has a broken tire. The Dutchi 8 in cream is my favorite on the site; however, I would definitely choose the Dutchi 1 in Spring if I’m the lucky one.

Omigosh! The green Dutchi–I swoon, I die. It’s gorgeous. I would feel like the protagonist in a French novel heading to market on that lovely.

As it is, I head to market on foot these days. My bike was stolen last fall and, what with Chicago winters and spending all my money on buying and diy-renovating a house, I haven’t been able to replace it. It’s been hoofing it and heeling it for me–but goodness, would I love to tool around on this!

(I might even make some saddlebags for it. I was recently given a roll of vintage leather, and I couldn’t imagine a better use… Ooh, fingers are crossed!)

Perfect timing on this contest! My guy just got a job near Santa Barbara, which would be the perfect place to ride the bike I don’t currently have! My fave is the Dutchi 3 in Sage + Basil Rear Basket in Orange, since those are my signature colors for my business/blog 🙂

The Roadster 8 is my absolute favorite! It is such a perfect bike for someone who lives in a city. I live in Downtown Los Angeles and this bike is perfect to commute in and carry stuff on with the rear rack.

It would be a dream to win one of the bikes featured. I can’t afford my own bike and I commute everyday to work in my boyfriends bike. Im 5’1 and his bike is a 56″ now that is way to tall for me. Winning this would be amazing.

I have always wanted a cruzer! I spend all my bike riding hours on a road bike because I commute a long way. Id love to have a bike that was just for FUN stuff! Those baskets rule. I’d be stoked on the Delano!

I love the Roadster Calssic in Cream (size small) and the Nantucket Pannier Tuckernuck basket, so dreamy! My husband got a new bike from his groomsman this past November and I would love to be able to join him on his cycling adventures on a bike that actual fits me, Im quite short and it makes for an uncomfortable and sometimes scary ride. Thanks for this opportunity! xo

Make this girls dream of heading to her local market in oxford shoes, a floral dress, a woven hat and that Kelly green Dutchi 1! It’s what every girl dreams of riding here in Austin. All she needs is a basket with florals. Perfection.

I see an adorable girl riding around Highland Park, Los Angeles on the Roadster Classic model, and am always instantly jealous–regardless of how many times I see her. I want to be in her absurdly chic club!

I’ve always dreamt of a cherry red bike to ride on my college campus! Despite the numerous hills and stairs, I think I’d enjoy the (treacherous) ride on a red Dutchi 3. So dreamy! And add a straw basket, it’ll be like riding a unicorn! AHHHHHHH!!!

I really like the Linus Market Bag, would be great for our many Portland farmers markets! Would look lovely on the Roadster Classic, and so would I 🙂
Thank you for the opportunity, and the wonderful blog!

The Dutchi 1 in green combined with the Nantucket Adult Lightship Tapered Basket would allow me to get to work quickly (and environmentally friendly) without an enormous backpack or briefcase on my back. It would also carry my bread, cheese and strawberries to Golden Gate Park in San Francisco on the weekends and let me catch some exercise along the way. I need this combo!

ahh please pick me! My bike is on it’s last leg and I would love love love the Dutch 1 in cream! eek! too perfect! I also love all the accessories on the site. the market bag… the wine holder… I love them all 😮

I have been day dreaming of cruising on a basketed bike to the local market! I’d love the Dutch in spring green with a colorful basil basket. I could stuff it with baguettes & flowers & champagne & a baby (just kidding). Loving the kid bikes too. Thanks for the chance!

Dutchi 1! I love linus bikes! I remember when Philip Lim used them in his spring collection. I was head over heels for them and have been wanting one since! I would cruise around highland park to go to my favorite coffee shop 🙂

They are so beautiful!! I’d have to say the wine holder 😉 and the nantucket cisco tapered basket is adorable!
I’m moving to Germany from Florida, so this would be so perfect and so ideal! I would pay to have this shipped from my house to where I’m heading. It would be a blessing! Thanks so much for the opportunity Bri! Love your blog, heck love your life!! <3

The DesignLoveFest team rocks & what more could an LA newbie from Maine ask for on her 25th birthday – March 31 😉 ?

~ Roadster Classic in Rosewood w/ the rear wire basket ~

After an amazing road trip across the country I lucked out finding a new job in LA with a short commute. Now, just one thing is missing… the bike to get to work. (Sold my old Jeep to take my boyfriend’s VW on the cross-country adventure & LA public trans. is a little eh, iffy)

I’ve been desperately craving some summertime cheer as we continue to freeze here in Chicago. Dreaming about pairing the Dutchi 1 with the market bag reminds me that the thaw is coming soon, and I can look forward to happy days filling the bag with green market treats and riding down lakeshore drive being grateful for the wind – instead of hiding from it! I’d love to be riding in style this summer, thanks for sharing this giveaway!

I just moved to New York City and as much as I love the subway, I would LOVE to start biking around this city once the sun comes out and the snow stops falling! My best friend just moved to Brooklyn and while we’re not too far away in physical distance–about a 15-minute bike ride–because of complicated subway lines, it’s a 45-minute public transport trek whenever we want to grab coffee or make dinner or borrow each other’s clothes! I would LOVE the Dutchi 1 in Marine to ride around the Lower East Side, over to my friend in Williamsburg, and up to work in Midtown 🙂

I love the Linus bike line and have been itching to get one. I think my dream Linus bike would be either the Mixte 8 in green or the Roadster 8 in blue. I use my bike all the time in the warm weather but have been using a mountain bike. I’d so love to transition to more of a city bike.

I really like these bikes they look so comfortable and classic at the same time my favorite out off all of them is the mixte 3 in color skyblue, they are just amazing I would love to win one of your bikes !!!!

both of those bikes are gorgeous and I would love you own either one! Especially with spring right around the corner, I can imagine myself riding under the cherry blossoms with my hair blowing in the wind and a cute little copper bell to ring!

you’re such a doll! after reinventing myself with a healthy lifestyle in 2012, i’ve been ready to take charge in 2013. i’m dying to learn how to ride a bike, in the most stylish way, of course, this spring! nothing would make cruising LA as perfect as the Dutchi1 in spring green along with a delano basket! regardless, thank you bringing this bike company to my attention! and good luck to those win this fabulous bike!

I sold my car a year ago in order to pay loan payments. My cruiser bike became my main mode of transportation and it turned out to become my best friend as well! Riding is my therapy. Though pretty, my bike is way to heavy and slow for daily commuting. The cream roadster classic is so pretty and light and fast. It would surely become my cherry on top every single day.

I love love love the Dutchi1 bike in cream! We are moving to Chicago later this year, and I have been on the search for a good bike since we will be selling both our cars. This giveaway couldn’t have come at a better time since I have been researching on the web for the “best” bikes, and Linus is definitely at the top! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I’m the lucky winner!

This is incredible. I wish I would have known about Linus when I was there two weeks ago. I live in OC and would love to add the Yepp Mini to one of these bikes! I can picture myself now taking my daughter to get fro yo in it! Thank you!

gosh, there is no better feeling than a bike ride on a nice warm day. i am in love with the basil bottle rear basket in pastel green! don’t you think it would complement a cream Dutchi1 bicycle? i am REALLY crossing my fingers on this one. what an incredible giveaway.

I’ve been wanting these ever since I saw one in Venice. I tried to fix my dad’s old one to use but it was rusted sooo bad from a couple of Hurricanes that hit a few years ago. I can already see myself in Chicago with one of these <3 The Dutchi 1 in Cream and I would definitely get that Market Bag i n Navy! Come ooon Spring and Bikes!

What a great bike shop! I love the look and love their Linus Market Bag! I can just imagine going for a picnic with the bag on the back of my bike. Would love to win this…considering my bike recently got stolen! Wa wa. Anywho, would like to win at Dutchi1 bike in Spring! Great giveaway.
xox

Oh, happy day! I’ve been dreaming of the cream Dutchi 1 for months. If this two-wheeled dame were mine, her name would be Delilah and she would transport me and my baby girl (and maybe even Hercules, our one-eyed pug) everywhere!

Oh my goodness, the Dutchi 1 in cream is my dream bike! I love everything in the Linus shop but I would have to buy the Rear Wire Basket to add to it! These photos are so beautiful! I’d have to ride around all day with flowers and veggies in the basket like this 😉

I have been looking for a bike for the past few months for the warm weather coming up! I live in NYC and can’t spend another spring or summer missing the nice weather while riding to work on the subway!

I love the roadster classic in black- and I would have to buy the sac to tote all of my things! It is so cute and functional! Perfect for a NYC life on the go. 🙂

As a young design student headed to NYC for an internship, I have been looking for a great way to get around. I have never lived in the big city and, not only would this save me precious money spent on subway fare, but it’s a stylish way to keep up with all of those chic NYC women! The DUTCHI 1 in cream would put the perfect spring in my step especially when paired with their adorable teal rear wire basket!

Love, love, love both styles of the bikes. It is so awesome to see that the Roadster comes in a small frame size as I am a pretty petite young lady. The Basil Rear Bottle Basket comes in such great colour options. Nice work, Linus!

If I could make my dream combo… Cream dutchi1 with a Mint Basil Rear basket.

The Dutchi 1 in Green is perfect! I’ve been bike shopping for the past year trying to find the perfect bike for commuting and quick trips. Thanks for sharing the beautiful bikes and baskets from Linus.

Oh, how I would love to win this! I’ve never owned a bike in my life (and I am 60!) and just learned how to ride one a few months ago on a borrowed bike. I would love to have a bike of my own. My favorite is the Dutchi 1. I hope I win!

I’ve been lusting after the beautiful green Dutchi 1! Just having moved back to my hometown of Raleigh, NC after living in NYC, I need a good alternative to a car. My current Huffy cruiser (which is really sweet) is too heavy to handle the Raleigh hills.

Oh my goodness, what beautiful bikes!
My husband and I have been on the hunt for the perfect bike for a year now. He’s been riding for a while, and I’m dying to shake the dust off my walking shoes and ride through some of the beautiful trails in my wonderful city of Raleigh.
Though I’d say the Dutch 1 is more my style, I am in need of the Roadster 8 for the hilly rides found in the North Carolina Piedmont. The cream color is gorgeous accompanied with those brown details.
I’d be tempted to purchase one of their rear wire baskets, or an adorable Nantucket basket. Honestly, though, I’d love to walk away with anything on this site.

When I first went to the Linus website I read their story, and I loved the part where they were saying that bikes arn’t being fully put to their use, that they are great for running errands around town. I thought that was kind of inspiring. I live in a college town, so I am constantly walking everywhere, but it would be so much fun and faster to ride around town on one of the Linus bikes. They’re beautiful! My favorite thing on the website is the Lil’ Roadster because it is adorable, although if I end up ordering my own bike I’ll also be purchasing the Rear Wire Basket, its lovely and I tend to have a lot of baggage. Ahhhh I need this bike!

I’ve been wanting a bike for 2 solid years now. It’s either not been the right time, or I haven’t been able to afford one. I live in downtown Atlanta and a bike would really help me get everywhere I need to go without having to rely on a car. I’d love to be totally green this year! The dutchi 1 in cream is beautiful! Can I have one in my life?

We love biking all over the city! Betsy recently got her bike stolen outside our office 🙁 The Dutchi is right up our alley, would love to pair it with the Peterboro Farmers Basket and a bouquet of pretty tulips!

Oh. my. YES! I’ve had a Linus bike on my wish list for a year now! We moved to Seattle from Florida a year ago and had to sell our bikes before the move. Now I’m completely without and Seattle’s beautiful summer is just around the corner. This would be a dream come true! The Roadster Sport is my fave, but I’ll quite happily choose the Roadster Classic if I win. Fingers crossed!

Soooo pretty! Thanks for the introduction to this sweet company! The Dutchi in Cream (with a basket!) would certainly be my favorite! It’s about to be a perfect season for this around Cape Cod and the farmers markets! Maybe even in time for the Daffodil Festival on Nantucket! XO

oh la la! I LOVE bicycles! I am crushing on the Mixte 3! Amsterdam style bikes are just so fun! Perfect to ride alongside your boo! Add a cute basket on front and you are all set for a picnic date! Happy Spring!

Oh please please please pick me! I’ve been wanting one like this but it is just not in the budget right now. If I won I’d pick the Dutchi 1 in cream and I’d probably end up buying one of the Yepp Mini kids seats so my son could ride to the farmer’s market down the road with me! I’d also get one of the wire baskets for the back so I could load up all our farmer’s market goods and my bag. Oh my gosh, how perfect. 🙂

Adoring the Roadster Classic- slender and speedy, just like the one I keep borrowing from a friend while he’s out of town and mine is being fixed (for the 3rd time in the lat 6 months)! While I save for a new bike ($500 is a lot to come up with between two part time jobs and school), I am loving how fun, and fast these thin bikes are. I woosh down the street to the beach to enjoy times with friends, or a scenic run. I am lusting over the adjustable rear rack and that canvas market bag- durable, classic, oh so cute and perfect for stocking up on fresh produce!

I have been scouring Craigslist for a vintage bike to troll around town…and the Dutchi 1 in Spring Green is JUST what I’ve been looking for! Add the Nantucket oval basket and I’m set! Love the florals in these photos. Thanks!

I LOVE Linus bikes 🙂 So happy you did this style post! I love the straight lines of the Dutchi 1. It’s exactly the type of bike I’ve been dreaming of building for myself. I’m in love with the Nantucket woven baskets, and you can’t go wrong with Bookman lights for when it gets dark! <3

omg girl! you dont even know!!
im in love with the dutch 1 http://www.linusbike.com/models/dutchi-1/
I’ve been looking for a bike for this spring/summer …i haven’t been on a bike in a long time…but ones you learn you dont forget right? lol
But my best friend bought hers late last summer and is dying for me to get one…and the dutch one looks like a great size and its has my fave golor as an option…hello green!!
we are also planning our trip to san fran this may and we were talking about taking a bike tour in NAPA ..this has to be a sign for me to win this bike for myself!! 😉
#crossingmyfingers
Good Luck to everyone!

I love/want/need that rear wire basket! I’ve been missing out on some romantic bike rides with my fiancé for some time now since I haven’t had any wheels. Perf combo: The dutchi1 in sky blue with that rear wire basket. When I’m not riding I’ll full the basket with fruits and flowers and use it to add some romance to my yard!

I am an art student in Florida so I constantly ride my bike around, especially to get groceries. My bike is quite old now so it’s already quite rusty in places. If I were to get a Linus bike, I would definitely grab a rear seat basket to carry all my purchases, as well as a sturdy D lock so the bike stays in my possession forever! Man, that green Dutchi is pulling at my heartstrings…

This is crazy, I have been lusting over the Roadster Classic in cream ever since I saw it!! Im feeling lucky, today I just happened to find your blog, and while I was admiring how fresh and springy it is I came to the giveaway and got so excited!!! The Roadster Classic in cream is my favorite thing they have. It’s very lighthearted and dreamy, which is exactly the mindset I want to be in this Spring and throughout the Summer. I just want to put on my biggest sunglasses and float around town on it…

Absolutely in love with the Roadster Classic in cream! I haven’t had a bike for years and have been looking for one, but no luck. This one is perfect and great way to motivate to ride my bike to class instead of driving!

The Dutchi 1 in Kelly Green is a day brightener! I would love my first summer in Burlington, VT to involve a lot of bathing suit biking to the beaches of lake Champlain. Hmmm a basket might also come in handy for those sunset picnics with bottle(s) of wine….

Eek! The Roadster Classic in cream is so elegant! Love the design. This one would definitely be friends with my Schwinn Jenny. I would DEFINITELY need one of those adorable woven baskets, too. And the apple green seat! For flare 🙂

This is an amazing giveaway! I have been window shopping beautiful bikes ever since I moved to Chicago (2 years ago…) The Linus bikes are beautiful and I love the office bag- sleek and polished for my commute.

Life is better on a bike.
Balloons are better delivered on a bike too. Two bikes have been stolen from me in LA this past year and so I no longer ride through town with big huge bundles of balloons to deliver, which is really sad! 🙂
If entrusted with a dutchi 1 in white (with bright metal baskets I would buy from the shop) , I would promise to be a beacon of kindness and friendly delight… With music ringing, frill on the handlebars streaming and smiles beaming!
I’ll be the ambassador of love, on my linus… Pedaling through town with big bombastic balloons billowing behind me.
I promise. Balloon trooper honor.

oh oh OH i LOVE the green Dutchi!! It’s so sleek and beautiful and perfect for my daily rides! Also my bike, much loved and my only mode of transport, was stollen this week so please oh please pick me!! Ah sweet beautiful bike.. I smile and cross my fingers and hope for you…

I love all of the bikes! I have been dreaming of getting a new bike for ages, and these are beautiful. I think the Mixte or the Dutchi are my favorites, but honestly they’re all perfect. Lovely colors, too!

I have been pinning bikes as of late because biking at the beach and around town in this nice weather sounds just perfect! The Roadster Classic with the rear wire basket would be a dream come true. I would look so cute with my beach towel in the back riding next to my sweetheart down the boulevard! Thanks for this awesome give-away and introducing these rad bikes to me!

Hello there! The Dutchi 1 is adorable!!! I have been looking for the perfect bike now that my little boy is old enough to ride along! This would be the absolute best accessory to a summer dress with a lunch packed in a rear wire basket!!! I can just smell the flowers we’d be whizzing by!

I am in LOVE with the Mixte 3, in the teal version! Who wouldn’t want a bike to brighten up their sunshine and hit the road
To the farmers market, with a Dorothy & toto basket going on! I miss my old bike so much! The Mixte 3 looks like a revamped twin! I can’t wait for summer to cruise in the sleek Linus bike! <3http://www.linusbike.com/models/mixte-3/

My sister is getting ready for her move to Austin, Tx and has been going on and on about needing a bike to run around town on. My plan was to go to a sporting goods store and find one that would get the job done, until I saw this! It hasn’t even crossed my mind that I could find her a bike this chic! This is so right up her ally, this Linus bike belongs in Austin with my sister. If we win, I’m going to get her a Rear Wire Basket so she can run all of her errands with it. I’m also going to get her the Bell, she loved the bell on her bike when we were kids, but she rang it too much and our mother took it away HA!

The Dutchi in cream is heaven. It’s so much like the bike from my study abroad Amsterdam days, it even has the same bell. And what a perfect bike for spring! I’d kiss my car goodbye every morning, hop on the bike path and pedal to work. What an amazing DLF giveaway – the first one I couldn’t pass up!

Gosh I used to live right down the street from this shop! 🙂 Now I live in San Francisco and desperately need a bike, when I never really needed one in LA (yay for being free from my car!). I love the rear wire basket! And if given the chance, I would certainly choose the Roadster Classic!

Hi! I would looooove to win the Dutchi 1 in cream. Im going to a gymnastic boarding school after the summer holiday. Im gonna need a bike there, and it would be great to win this bike. Its so cute and just my style.

Ah!! My husband bought a fancy (& expensive) road bike last Summer. Now it is my turn to have a pretty bike! I would absolutely cruise around on the Dutchi 1 in CREAM! I even made a style-board last August fantasizing about a new bike and it looks very similar to the Dutchi – check it out: http://www.polyvore.com/summer_ride/set?id=55084432

I have looong admired those beautiful bikes on Abbot Kinney and on the streets around Venice. I would love to win one now that I am in SF, such a bike friendly town. I would love to ride to and from work on a Linus. My favorite item on the site is the Roadster Classic in Cream. And those Lil Roadsters for kids are so cute!

These bikes are adorable. My favorite accessory on the site would be the Nantucket Tuckernuck Tapered. This basket would be really cute on the green cruiser. A new bike would be so much fun for our family activity – my siberian husky puppy chases me on the bicycle and pulls my boyfriend on his skateboard!

I have to say this is one of the best giveaways yet! Who gives away a bike, someone extremely awesome like you Bri. I would loooooove to win the beautiful green Dutchi bike. After taking a long look at Linus website I’m pretty sure all their bags are some of the most amazing I’ve ever seen. My favorite is The Market Bag.

My husband and I just moved to America from Copenhagen, land of bikes, and though we are thrilled to have a car, I find myself wishing for my bike. We rode our bikes everywhere and I developed some pretty great leg muscles. Sadly, we didn’t bring them over with us, and now that the weather is getting better, I’d love nothing more than the use a bike for my errands once again. I absolutely love your brand of bikes and love so many products. I’m REALLY digging your baskets, like your Nantucket. I think Danes would really love your products too. I’d LOVE to win this bike (Dutchi, of course) and show my readers that I’m once again on a bike!

the Dutchi1 in cream, please. so. this is a funny one for me. because actually, I don’t know HOW to ride a bike. I know, RIGHT! it’s awkward. when people say “oh, it’s just like riding a bike!” I cringe. I knew once! now, I don’t. it seems, ah yes, I’ve *forgotten.* when I lived in NYC it was okay – I could walk, it was a choice. it was a lifestyle, walking places. but now here in Los Angeles, it’s becoming a thing. everyone knows about it! I miss out on bike rides down to the beach, trips to the market that are a breeze on a bike but kind of a trek on foot. I have to kind of duck out of these gatherings or otherwise tell them I’ll just *jog* next to the caravan of chic bikes. right, yes. jog alongside the bikes! I’m confident that if I had a pretty little Linus, I’d make it happen. I can ride a little bit, like, in straight lines, uninterrupted, no obstacles added to my trajectory. I’m quite sure I just need some good practice. is it a little histrionic to say that winning this contest might.. just.. change… my California life?! I’ve said it. fingers crossed!

Ahhh, spring is definitely in the air! Day adventures riding around with fresh flowers from the market and the crisp air and warm sun upon your face…Dreamy!!
The Copper Bell is lovely! Brings back great memories of the bell I once had on my bike as a child.

i never win these things..but it’s always worth a shot. i’ve been hunting for a new bike since i now live 4 blocks from work and would rather bike instead. would love to win this bike and pick up a basket from linus too!

Oh my, these photos are so lovely and the bikes/baskets/flowers are pure joy! I have been looking for a new “vintage” bike and the dutchi 1, in cream, is just stunning, the colors the details the lines are sure to transport the rider back in time. I also love the Nantucket Adult basket. Now I just want to go to Venice and live this blog post.
Thank you for sharing this and the chance to win!

I absolutely love the Nantucket Adult Lightship Tapered basket – being from New England and living in Los Angeles, I miss so many things that are typical East Coast. That basket instantly makes me think of home!

I’ve been looking for a new bike! As a photographer in SF (without a car), I need a better mode of transportation to help me location scout for photo shoots! I love both of the bikes, but if I had to choose, I’d go for the Dutchi 1 in cream. 🙂

Oh my goodness! My fav shop street, Abbot Kinney, and beautiful Linus Bikes featured all in one post…yes please! I would accessorize the DUTCHI 1 in Spring Green with the Oopsmark Wine Holder and Basil Bottle Rear Basket… picnic season here we come!

Can I tell you how in love I am with everything Linus produces? The bikes are gorgeous and the Crane Riten Bell with the Rear Wire Basket are the *perfect* accessories. I live in Downtown Fargo, ND and in the summer I ride everywhere. My current bike was destroyed from a ride I took one day. My maxi skirt got caught in the front tire, locked it and i flew forward into the street. Thank goodness for my front basket that broke the fall a bit. And thank goodness that on coming traffic had their eyes peeled for me. It’s funny to visualize, that’s for sure! I’d be honored to own anything from Linus so I’ll just cross my fingers and hope that I’m your lucky girl!

The Dutchi 3 with the Farmers Market basket would be just perfect for summer rides for local produce. I’m living in Amsterdam for now and would be over the moon to be able to continue to bike around once I get home.

My bike was run over a few weeks ago by my next door neighbor who is the sweetest lady. She is insisting on buying me a new bike but I know she can’t afford it anymore than I can, so I’ve been super vague every time she brings it up, asking me if I’ve found a replacement yet. Long story short this would be KISMET! I adore all of their bikes, especially the curvier ones like the Dutchi 3 Limited Edition. They’re very chic and feminine. So French. EEK!

Love the Dutchi 1 in cream! So chic! It would be lovely to ride around on for spring. I have a small puppy who would look awful cute in a wicker basket :3 Thanks for the lovely giveaway! Fingers are crossed!

I bike all spring, summer, and fall in NYC. I borrowed my friends bike for the past year (since mine was stolen) 🙁 I love the roadster classic even though there are so many options! 🙂 great photo shoot!

Love these bikes and baskets! Since I’m in college, having a bike would be so nice and make getting around campus so much easier! I love the basil bottle rear basket in pastel green. The vintagey look is so cute and springy. Between the two bikes, I would love to win the dutchi 1 bike in cream–I’m giddy over how cute that basket and bike would look together! Thanks for giving us that chance to win such awesome giveaways!

I’m an urban designer who embarrassingly can barely ride a bike. But I’ve been mustering up the courage to learn, and dreaming of a beautiful bike to ride around my city all winter long! Would love a Spring Green Dutch 1 with a Rear Wire Basket to ride every day.

Wow, this is an amazing giveaway! Both of my sisters have a bike and I’ve been using their’s instead of getting my own bike. I think my favorite item would be the Satchel, it looks liked can take it around everywhere. And I would love to win the Dutchi1 in cream. 🙂

My car has been having a lot of issues lately so I have been looking for a new bike. The Dutchi 1 looks perfect for a ride around town, or, if I add on a basket or rear rack, I could ride to and from work. Everywhere I go is within riding distance, all I need is a bike!

I love the Dutchi 1 in Green! The design is exquisite and it has such a classic look. The green gives it the perfect pop of freshness that is definitely lacking here on the East Coast with the snow we got today! This bike would be so cool to own and would definitely make my commute to the train station much more enjoyable 🙂

Love the Duchi 1! Would purchase it myself if I had the extra funds laying around! I can just imagine myself cruising to the local coffee shop by my house to enjoy a nice cappuccino before heading over to the lake. Beautiful pictures!

This giveaway brought a tear to my eye, no exaggeration. I really want a bike, and the affordable options are lackluster. These bikes are so beautiful – I love the girlieness of the Dutchi 1 in green. They also have some of the best bike accessories I’ve seen (on which I went Pin crazy).

I’ve had a linus on my wishlist for a few years now! They are such beautiful bikes! My fave on the site is the roadster classic in black. These photos are gorgeous by the way. Love the linus shop on abbot kinney!

This is kind of perfect timing because I saw the Dutchi 1 about two years ago in Cream color at my local bike shop when I was getting my old mountain bike repaired. The one I saw had a rear rack and a front basket and I knew then that I would get one at some point and ride it along the waterfront in DC and Virginia in the nice weather. I travel alot for my profession (archaeology) and unfortunately haven’t been able to save up yet so this could be the answer to my Linus dream!

This giveaway couldn’t have come in a better time! My brother used to use my bike and it now belongs to the garbage bin):
I absolutely adore the Nantucket Adult Lightship Tapered basket. I can just imagine going to the farmers market and bringing home the prettiest flowers and produce. I’ve been loving the Dutchi 1 in cream for a while now, and I know that basket would look perfect with it!

LINUS BIKES! Oh, I love these little fellas. They are so dreamy especially the Dutchi 1 in spring! I just moved to a new city with a great bike path and have been itching to snag a great bike sometime soon! I am just bogged down with wedding planning (yay for July 27) and finishing up my English degree! Fingers crossed I can get my paws on one! Exciting stuff!

I am going to be dreaming about the Dutchi 1 (alternating nights between the spring green and the cream. I want the Market bag AND the Office bag and the Linus headlamp for safety, of course. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed and start saving up some cash anyways!

your giving away a bike?! this is fabulous.
bikes are possibly my favorite thing in the world!
I have a bike pretty similar to the dover 5 in cream, but obvi the dover is better. The one problem with my bike is i haven’t had the time (okay, or money) to actually make the bike fit my “personal aesthetic”. This thing is my car, I want it to stand out, have little trinkets that make it, well… me.
I am in love with head lamps and would love the linus headlamp (it’ll make a big difference riding at night)! But, what would be super awesome to finally have is the delano basket! I could finally ride my bike to get groceries and not look like a weirdo!

I was just day dreaming about owning a Linus and riding around my new neighborhood (Glassel Park). I would feel like a French New Wave dream riding The Dutchi 1 in cream with the wire basket!
Love DLF + Moon Canyon Floral posts!
xo

oh, a new linus bike would be a dream! i am a mom with a cargo bike to ride the littles around but to have a sweet bike of my own would be so lovely. i love love love the wooden grips and the tuckernuck basket. i’d be the fanciest mom around, for sure!!

Not sure how I will get picked out of all these messages but I had to try anyway :). I would LOVE to have Dutch1, it’s very cool and reminds of my old bike that I had to leave behind when I moved to NYC. I planned to buy one before the Spring hit so that I wash away my long days of teaching 11 years olds and just ride in the breeze along the West side highway in Manhattan. This would be such an awesome bike to have where I’d add a basket on the front and occasionally stop at the various shops and take pics along the way. Oh how I want this bike! Please grant me this one wish please 🙂

The cream Dutchi 1 is lovely and would only get lovelier with a basil bottle rear basket in pastel green. Perfect for trips to the Sunday Farmer’s Market or trips down to our favorite oyster bar in the Spring and Summertime…

I’ve have been researching bikes lately as I am going to be taking the train from Dallas to UNT in Denton this upcoming Fall semester and need some classy, reliable wheels, aka a bike to get around campus!
I have to say the classic roadster is pretty much the best choice for me- and it is described as inspired by “French and Italian cinema from the 50’s and 60’s”. Sold!

Oh my heck, it’s like you knew exactly what I have been dreaming of. I live in the city of Provo, near Salt Lake City, and I walk everywhere. I’ve been caught with the bike envy fever, as the weather here as been practically dreamy.
No surprise that my favorite product, would be the one you’re giving away.
The Dutchi 1 in cream would be my absolute favorite product, no doubt.
xo

Aw man, if I could have the Roadster in cream…Houston is a huge car city; there are not many bike friendly paths. But I don’t have a car, and I have dreamed of daring the roads on a bike on the way to work and school.

Seriously though, I was just talking about this with some of my friends! We’ve all been thinking about getting bikes to ride around on this summer! We’re all 16 and have access to cars but gas is so expensive, so this would be the bomb! The roadster in brown with the white wheels is killer! Such a great idea for a giveaway.

Oh these bikes are the BEST! I’ve been looking for new wheels to cruise around the boardwalk at my new house! Every good bike needs the perfect basket. I’m loving the Nantucket Pannier Tuckernuck basket. Perfect for snacks! You can’t ride without snacks 😉

Oh goodness! I have been wishing and hoping for a bike! These are all lovely! My favorite is the Dutchi 1 in Cream, and I also love their Mixte 3 bike. Thank you for the incredible giveaway! You have such a wonderful gift of finding the beauty in life… thank you for sharing it with us! You are truly an inspiration! ❤

One look at these photos were enough to bring me out of the gloomy mood I’ve been having lately with the cold and wet weather in the Northeast. I can easily imagine riding around with the cream Dutchi1 along Riverside’s Park Promenade or in Central Park for a nice ride with the pup and fiance.

INCREDIBLE GIVEAWAY!? THE WINNER WILL BE SO LUCKY! The green Dutchi 1 is my favorite, but the Duthchi 3 in cream is also great. (How cute are the kids’ bikes?) Seriously, best giveaway ever. Thank you and Linus for hosting. I’m crossing my fingers.

I recently opened a letterpress print studio a mile from my house after commuting an hour to my dad’s shop twice a week for 4 years! I can’t think of a better way to top off this exciting move than to have a Linus Dutchi 1 in Spring so I can bike to work! Love this giveaway so much. xoxo

How fantastic are these bikes! Ever since my bike was stolen in NYC, I’ve been hesitant to get a new one (it scarred me for life!) But now back in LA, with the sun shining, all I want to do is cruise! I especially love the market bags that Linus carries. How fantastic are those! Here’s hoping my bike faith is restored with a new snazzy Linus bike!!

Um this contest is coming in perfect timing as I’ve been hoping to get a bike before I study abroad in Paris! I’m dying over the Peterboro original basket; it would be a must if I were to win the Dutchi 1! I can imagine that I could fit my days meal from the market inside of that adorable white basket, right?! please and thank you!

The baskets from Lins Bikes are definitely my favorite things there. They’re cute, useful, and so vintage looking! Personally, I really like the dutchi 1 in beige but all of their bikes are fantastic. :3

This would be amazing! I’ve been looking everywhere for a bike like the Dutchi 1 for Savannah — perfect for the commute to class. And the Market Bag would be ideal for those lazy weekend days at the park. Loving this giveaway!

I wandered in the Linus shop in Venice a couple of weekends ago. These are EVEN nicer in person! I love the Dutchi 1 in Spring Green. I would definitely get one of the rear wire baskets for grocery (AND flower) shopping!

Ugh, it’s hard to choose between either style! But I’m in love with the Roadster Classic in Rosewood, but the Dutchi 1 in Cream is adorable too. Both of them would be adorable with the rear wire basket — perfect for putting bouquets in! I’m soon to be living in the city, and this would be fantastic for commuting! Whether to class or to the farmer’s market, I can see this bike lasting me a lifetime. Thanks!

I’m totally in love with the Roadster Classic in cream. With the teal Rear Wire Basket – perfection. I would ride this to campus every day at UT Austin and pretend I’m in a 50’s French New Wave film. 🙂

Ok, I’m obsessed with that dutchi1 bike in cream, and I must have that Pipette bag when it comes out! Thanks for sharing – if i don’t win i will have to shop! Biking to work would make this Philadelphia summer a whole lot better 😉

Wow, I love the Dutch bike — perfect for a short gal like me! I’ve recently discovered an appreciation for biking while on a vacation up in norcal and would love an opportunity to do that more here! I’d have to add the adorable Pipette and we’d be all set! Lovely giveaway!

I am in love with the Roadster Classic model in Rosewood. It is simple yet elegant. Two things that inspire my life, my work, and my wardrobe.
Winning this bike would mean the world to me! I grew up in East Los Angeles in a very humble upbringing. With two working class immigrant parents working multiple jobs to support the family, I never owned a bike; let alone learn how to ride one. Most people learn how to ride a bicycle as children, I learned how to ride a bike as a 26 year old! Many people ask me, “Why didn’t you just learn as a middle schooler or high schooler?”. And that’s a good question. The reason I didn’t learn as an older youth was because I was embarrassed. It’s a mediocre excuse but its the truth. It wasn’t so much that I was embarrassed of not knowing how to ride a bike but more so that I was embarrassed of my impoverished upbringing. I have never been embarrassed or ashamed of my parents; no that was not the case. I was embarrassed of the missed opportunities and privileges that many of my peers experienced that I was not able to live.
As an adult,I now cherish and hold my upbringing and life experiences as a badge of honor. Through my parent’s sacrifice, hard work, and numerous opportunities, I am now living a different life and living to “pay it forward.” With that said, on my 26th birthday I decided I was going to learn how to ride a bike, regardless of how ridiculous I’d look. I got an old, unwanted mountain bike from my friend, bought a bike helmet, and my bike-riding lessons began.

Like I said, winning this contest and owning a Roadster Classic would make me the happiest girl in the world.

Oh my gosh. My heart DROPPED when I saw this giveaway– I’ve been pining after a bike for ages. I live in Boston, a city that’s getting increasingly friendlier to biking commuters, and for me to be able to forego the public subway to ride one of these beauties would be such a dreaaaaam. I love the Dutchi 1 in cream. It’s just perfect. And I’d totally get a basket to complete the whole look.

I’m so happy you posted this! It is snowing right now up in Portland, Me but I have spring and warm weather on my mind. I am absolutely in need of a new bike this year and I really love the Roadster in Rosewood. The oopsmark wallets are really fun too!

I live in a small town where public transportation is a the common means of transportation, or just simply walking. I have yet been able to afford such a luxury and it would mean the world to me if I would be able to win this bike. Ill ride it everywhere around town! (Go Green!)

The Spring Dutchi 1 is so beautiful! I actually don’t know how to ride a bike, but now that I live 2 miles from my office I am planning to learn. How amazing it would be to take it from work straight to a friends (using the oopsmark wine holder of course)!

Oh my, what a perfect giveaway! I bike to college, and I’ve been to Linus in Venice a year ago, and test-drove some of the bikes, but in the end it was just too expensive for my student budget. I’m still dreaming about the bike until now, and here’s a giveaway for it! I’d love to get a Linus bike! I think my favorite style is the Mixte in Skyblue, although the Dutchi in cream is beautiful too though :).

I’m loving the sexy streamlines of the Roadster Classic in cream, or black. I see a couple of these bikes around Philly and ogle them like they’re a well-dressed Frenchman. I’d love to have one of these to ride around town to and from work and around to the various markets. Pretty please!!

Oh my I literally feel faint looking at the roadster in rosewood. Def my fave. Swoon swoon swoon. I’m short, so finding a bike to fit my frame is a challenge, especially since I’m a poor grad student and can only afford used bikes. Winning this would be a dream!! I was bummed about the Benefit giveaway but this is SO MUCH SWEETER. Gah!

These are so beautiful! I used to have a lovely green bike which I would ride every day to class. Unfortunately I asked someone to watch it for me during our honeymoon and it was mistreated and ruined. This would be the perfect replacement! I love the Dutchi in green! Thank you!

I absolutely love the Dutchi 3 in Marine! I love the color and shape of the frame. The Nantucket Tuckernuck Tapered basket is so pretty and cute! I’ve always wanted a basket on a bike and that one is just right! Beautiful pictures btw! 🙂

BRI!!! I have wanted a Linus bike for so long! I have gone to test drive them, daydreamed about them, have and kept my my fingers crossed that one day I will own such a pretty bike! My favorite style by far is the white Dutchi 1. So classic, simple, and elegant. I love how it rides, too; the handle bars are the perfect height! You would honestly be making my dreams come true!

This is my DREAM giveaway! I have been pinning Linus bikes forever, and could only dream of being able to afford one. I live in NYC and nothing would be better than riding around on a beautiful cream Dutchi 1 all summer!! Thank you Thank you for this opportunity!

I am in love with these bike photos! I am a Native Californian and lived in Venice for 5 years so I understand bike and beach culture and these styled Linus Bike picks are to die for! I especially love the Dutchi 3 because it allows a lady to wear a dress with out a wardrobe malfunction / peep show every time you get on and off the bike. With the lower cross bar you won’t get tangled up or be inappropriate and can still rock fun, flirty frocks! Pick me I would love this bike and that I can wear dresses while riding, because if you’re not riding in style what’s the point?!

I’m going to have to wish for the Roadster Classic in Cream, with a Nantucket basket….any will do, they are all adorable! Also, I am going to need the round reflector mirror to complete the ensemble! Total bicycle perfection!

I love that “Life is better on my bicycle” tee! My boyfriend would wear that proudly. I also adore the simple Walnut Bike Rack. But that roadster classic is the ultimate! LA is way more bike friendly than one might think, and I want in!

I absolutely love the “Nantucket Cisco Tapered” Basket! I had a super cute basket that looked like that and a great bike to go along with it that were both destroyed in the most recent hurricane here in New Orleans, been itching to get whole new set!

Th8is is perfect, I’ve been wanting a bike to take leisurely rides on 🙂 I haven’t had a bike since middle school! The Roadster Classic is quite pretty; it would be perfect equipped with a Nantucket basket!

HOLY AWESOME! I’m not one to enter contests, but I have really been bugging my husband lately for a bike. I dig that Linus sells everything you could possibly want for a bike, including a child seat! Which is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for. I want to take my wee man on rides on the trails in town. The roadster classic is perfect, and you can’t go wrong with brown! (; (;

Oh my, this is what I need! Springtime is here and my boyfriend keeps telling me I need to get a bike so I can cruise around Phoenix with him. I browsed the amazing offerings on the site and would probably end up with the Mixte 3 if given the choice, but that Dutchi 1 – especially in the green… that would be my choice of prize!

After moving to Portland and realizing how amazing it is to ride bikes everywhere here, I’ve been wanting a bike so badly! These Linus bikes are high quality and so stylish, would love to win one! I love the Dutch in cream and the Basil bottle rear basket 🙂

Oooh, the Dutchi1 and Dutchi 3 are dreamy, especially in the creamy cream color! I haven’t had a bike since probably 1995, and now that I’m trying to teach my 5 year old to ride her bike, it would be good “modeling” to ride with her!

With winter still rearing its ugly head here in MN it is hard to think of biking. Or flowers. Or, well, anything besides sweaters and parkas. But soon it will be warm enough and I can’t think of a better spring celebration than scooting around on one of thes beautiful bikes. I love the Dutchi 1 in cream (so classic!) and I’m thinking the Linus headlamp would be a necessity for night rides in the summer – if it ever comes!

With everything going on in my life right now I would kill for a bike to just let myself feel wind in my hair. The Mixte 3 in sky blue would be that bike, even though I’m also really loving the classic roadster.

wow. killing it with the giveaways–this is the best i’ve seen in a long time! the roadster classic (cream) is my favorite and has been on my wish list for ages! would love to win. thanks for the chance!

the roadster classic in the cream color would just be PERFECT! i would use it to ride with my husband to this reservoir near our house where we like to have picnics! he has a bike and i’ve been dying to get one! this would just be AMAZE! =)

Wow, what an awesome company! Thanks for sharing. I love The Delano and the rear wire baskets, how would I choose should I win a bike? The Delano would be so sleek but how fun is the rear wire for carrying goodies from the farmer’s market?

Also, if I win I would love to let my hair down on the sweet Dutchie I!

Honestly, the last bike I remember was a Beauty and the Beast bike I got when I was just a little girl, handlebar streamers and all! After that, I always took my brother’s hand-me-down bikes. But it might be time to have one that I coud actually call my own. The Roadster in cream would be lovely to ride around.

Hmm, what to choose as a favorite????!!! Absolutely love the DUTCHI3 in marine!!! I would definitely want to accessorize with a lovely Nantucket Pannier Tuckernuck, a Crane Hand Painted Bell, and the Oopsmark Wine Holder! Thanks for this giveaway! Good luck everyone ❤

Oh my, my stomach is fluttering at even the opportunity to be in the running to win something like this. I have been wanting a bike like one of these for so long. Ahhh I would die happy.
So my favorite thing at the Linus bikes shop: the little reflector mirror. It’s under “Accessories.” It would so complete any bike.
If I win, I would without-a-doubt choose the dutchi 1 in cream. Beautiful.

My favorite Linus accessory is the Delano basket, which is a handlebar basket that has enough room for farmer’s market finds and even a spot for your morning cup of coffee. If selected as the Linus bike winner, I would go on so many adventures on the Dutchi1 in Spring!

LOVE that Roadster Classic in Rosewood! Beautiful! My fiance has been wanting a new bike for a while, that would be an awesome wedding gift to him! 🙂 I strolled past Linus today, cute shop, lovely bikes! And I has an amazing bagel and smoothie at Local 1205! The Beauty Burst acai smoothie is AMAZING!

What beautiful bikes!!!! I absolutely adore the cream Dutchi 1. Add a Nantucket basket for perfection. I would feel like such a lady 🙂 I’m actually writing this from Amsterdam, where I’m staying for a bit, and can see similar bikes gliding past my window……

the dutchi bike in white has been bookmarked on my computer for AGES but as a college student i havent been able to quite muster up the funds…this would be so perfect! amazing giveaway–crossing my fingers and toes!

Gorgeous bikes! I have not heard of them before but I have been wanting a bike for the longest time! I dream of cruising to the farmer’s market on Sunday on my spring Dutchi 1 with the Nantucket Adult Lightship Tapered basket on the front and picking out all sorts of yummy veggies for the week!

I love the classic wire bottle basket! Perfect for packing a picnic and heading to the park & it doesn’t matter if your sangria spills because it’s wire not wicker. The classic roadster is such a dream bike.

Love the DutchI 1 in cream. Absolutely love all the photos. The second to last photo with the flowers is just heaven. Down to her hat and the bike overflowing with all those beautiful flowers. I could totally see myself riding one of these to a farmers market a few miles from my house and just coming back feeling refreshed and ready to go. Thanks for hosting such awesome giveaways Bri!

THE NANTUCKET ADULT LIGHTSHIP TAPERED BASKET TUGS AT MY HEART STRINGS. REMINDS ME OF MY GRANDMOTHER, SHE HAD A COLLECTION THAT HAS NOW BEEN PASSED DOWN TO ME. FAB PHOTOGOS AND STYLING AS ALWAYS LADIES!

OH MY. I’ve been dying for an adorable bike like the Roadster Classic for soooo long!! My husband is so great at street and mountain biking and I’ve been longing for a bike of my own to join him on some trips around town!!

How beautiful! The florals and bikes conjure up such a dreamy summer afternoon ride! I can just see the NANTUCKET ADULT LIGHTSHIP TAPERED basket form Linus strapped on the front, a little pup inside along for the ride to a farmers market – I know with such a cute bike, i wouldn’t let it go to waste! Thank you designlovefest for another inspirational post!

My biggest dream {this is no joke} is to own 20 different bikes and to pedal around in the sunshine all day going to work, or getting groceries, or just laughing and enjoying. I am in deepest love with Dutchi 1 in cream. This would probaby make my entire YEAR if I won this beauty to start my collection off with such a stunner.

I have been looking for something like THE PIPETTE for ages! That and the NANTUCKET CISCO TAPERED are the perfect accessories for a day out on your bike! Love all the stuff on the Linus site. It’s so hard to find functional bike accessories that also reflect person style.

I’m a bikeless, carless college kid who swoons at the thought of owning a Linus Dutchi in cream. My favorite item in their darling shop is the market bag – so genius! I would be able to get groceries other than meal plan cafeteria food! (Yay trader joe’s!)

This has been the longest, snowiest winter that I can remember (another 2 inches coming tomorrow – eek!), and I have been dreaming of a new bike for when Spring finally hits. Linus bikes are a favorite of mine; I love the classic Dutchi frames. If I had my dream bike, I would choose the Dutchi 3 in sage. If I win, I will choose the Dutchi 1 in cream – no doubt. Thanks for this awesome giveaway and for your blog which always inspires me. ~Sarah

Great minds think alike! I was just dreaming the other day of bicycle season in Colorado and how perfect it is!! Speaking of perfect, thank you so much for sharing Linus bikes and accessories – they are just what I was looking for! I love love love the rear basket and the adorable copper bell-under striker, but first, the bike! I’m totally a “Dutchi 1” in Cream! I love the curved frame, feminine but oh so sleek. xox

I love the Pouch bag and the Rear Wire Basket is too cute! I think I would die of happiness if I won this bike…mine got stolen last June while I was at work and I haven’t been able to replace it yet. Keeping my fingers crossed I get to buy a new supersecure bike lock to keep one of these purty Linus bikes safe.

Oh, winter has been SO long here in the midwest. That mixte3 in sky blue is my fave but the roadster in rosewood is also a dream- just in time as spring is rumored to be inching my way! Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!

I love the idea of [finally] being able to ride a bicycle with my boyfriend around the city! Linus’ lineup of products are gorgeous! I love the look and practicallity of the “Market Bag” – it’s oh so cool in navy! I think it’d look just perfect on the roaster classic! 🙂

I’m planning on getting my first bike this summer and have been looking at Linus bikes! I really like the classic and clean look of their bikes. I would pick the roadster classic (red or cream) or the mixte 3 (cream). I would love to commute around the city on one of these!

I absolutely adore the Linus Pouch and I think it would go great with the Roadster Classic in cream! Nothing screams spring and summer like bike rides to the farmer’s market, parks, etc. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE this!

love the linus story! “you’re floating a little from the wine you drank at lunch… maybe instead of going back to the office you’ll take a nap under a tree, go for a swim in the sea or drop by your lover’s house…” exactly! i like the dutchi3 in marine for riding the hilly streets of laguna beach or in the wine country!

this would be too perfect! my birthday is just around the corner on march 29th and a bike is at the very top of my list! i couldn’t believe it when i saw this giveaway. how serendipitous would this be! i live in nyc and, without a car, i’ve always wanted to have a bike as an alternative to public transportation — plus it’s great way to stay in shape and save the environment to boot! i LOVE linus bikes! i first spotted one on a blog last spring and have pined after one ever since — in fact, i’ve had the dutchi 3 in cream bookmarked on my computer ever since! this would be a dream come true! fingers crossed!

wow. this is such a great giveaway! i have wanted a linus for TWO years. this weekend, i am getting mine, a mixte 3 in cream. can’t wait! if i win, i’ll give the roadster sport to my hubby! he’s been eyeing it, and i know he’ll be jealous of mine as soon as i get it!

I love the nantucket tuckernuck tapered basket! It reminds me of my Dad’s antique fishing basket that he would use when he took me and my sister fishing in the summers! Oh the memories! It would go perfectly with the Dutchi 1 in cream : ) xx Kel

I’m dreaming of the Peterboro Farmers Basket on the Dutchi 1 in Spring! Why do I want to win a Linus so badly (other than the obvious fact they are absolutely adorable)? Here’s a rather funny visual for you: I currently ride a borrowed 1970 Schwinn that was purchased for my boyfriend. He is a staggering 6’5″. Why does this matter? Well, I am a whoppin’ 5’2″. My feet can’t touch the ground. So on our rides to the local market, the beach, and the fun outdoor patios we spend many days on, I have to scope out a patch of grass or pile of soft sand to pretty much topple over into! It’s quite entertaining to witness I’m sure! I have the added bonus of carrying (yes, dangling bags of fruits/vegetables/wine from my arms). I would be delighted to finally have a bike of my own! I can only imagine how many lovely adventures we’d have together on our cruisers! Thanks Bri & Linus! xxo

i love the basil bottle rear basket, and the win of my choice would be the Dutchi 1, in Spring green. beauties! my current bike is beautiful & turquoise, but it’s british mid-century, so it weighs a hundred pounds, seems like.

i have been wanting a new bike for so long now! i bought myself one two summers ago and wasn’t happy with how it rode, so i returned it and have yet to find another one. i walk to work every day and would love to ride one of these with one of those beautiful baskets, too! the dutchi 1 in cream is so pretty. good luck to everyone!

The rear wire basket is the sort of thing that dreams are made of! Having just moved from the least bike-friendly city on earth (São Paulo) to one of the most (Minneapolis) I could totally see myself making biking a blissful, viable means of taking care of business, especially with one of those gorgeous bikes from Linus.

i have been lusting over a linus bike for about a year, maybe more, but haven’t been able to swing it. I love the cream roadster classic! I also love the basil bottle rear basket! Yay for pretty posts and give aways 🙂

+ i just moved to the beautiful brick and cobblestone streets of Boston. i have been longing for a gorgeous bicycle that not only makes my ride to work smooth but also makes me feel just as pretty as the bicycle itself is!

+ with this, i would purchase their nantucket adult lightship tapered bicycle basket! for lovely spring flowers to bring home for my little downtown apartment <3

I LOVE these bikes. Love. And I’ve been lusting after a new city bike lately. If I won one of these beauties, I would HAVE to get a market bag to go with. Definitely my favorite thing in their shop aside from the actual bikes…

I would love to win a Dutchi 1 in cream. It’s the perfect fit for me! My husband and I relocated recently and I had to leave my bike, which has been with me since college, behind. Since I work from home, riding my bike around town on breaks was always my favorite pass time. However, since we moved I have mostly stayed in doors. A new Linus bike (something I’ve dreamed about for years) would be perfect! Thanks for the opportunity to enter!

Thanks so much for introducing me to Linus Bikes! Obsessed with the cream Dutchi 1. Would be so amazing to have a bike in Boston and save myself from walking 10 miles a day! Also would be great at the beach!

I don’t live too far from work and I have been jonesing for a new bike to start commuting on the days I don’t have school. It’s finally starting to heat up in Florida, so I can ride by bike in the warm weather and not worry about the sun going down at 5:30pm. I would love the Roadster in creme, but my favorite thing on the site has to be the mandarin and black steel saddle – a pop of color would be perfect on any bike!

I love the Roadster Classic and Roadster Sport bikes! They look just like the vintage Raleigh bike I used have, but mine got stolen last month :(. I was planning on buying a Raleigh with my tax return. Both Roadster bikes would be perfect for riding around the neighborhood and to and from class! The rear wire basket would be perfect for carrying my bookbag!

I’ve been on the lookout for a nice cruiser to take on summer rides with my husband for a while now! The teal wire basket would go nicely with the cream Dutch. Perfect for our weekly farmer’s market outings!

Oh my heavens! I live in Huntington Beach and have been DYING for a sweet bike to ride around the beach! I love Dutchi1 in spring and Dutchi3 in sage! And then with their wire basket!… If only I can be cool enough to have one of these bikes!

ohhhh first day of spring, and all I want to do is ride. The spring Dutchi would look awesome with the Nantucket Adult Lightship Tapered Basket, with our lil’ Pom pup hanging out, cruising down Alki Beach in West Seattle!

I love the Dutch 1 in cream! Summer won’t be here in Alaska for another month or two. I would love to cruise around on this bike when it gets here! I’ve been wanting a bike for a while so I can bike to work and school:) Thanks!

I LOVE the Linus Bikes!!! I love the Dutchi collection it would be great to be able to ride a bike with my son instead of just watching him from the bench at the park. I also love the satchel and headlamp and many other things from their shop!

after having 4 (seriously 4!) bikes stolen in brooklyn, i would be so excited to win the linus roadster classic bike in cream! I also love the bell in alloy silver! (i would also lock it up in the most heavy duty lock available! 🙂 )

The Basil Bottle Rear Basket in Teal looks smart to me, in more ways than one—and would look even smarter on the side of a Roadster Classic in Cream. 🙂 I currently live in a small beach town, and my new husband and I are planning a move to NYC soon, so getting a bike for the transition from beachy summer to city fall would be amazing, especially while we’re saving up for the move. All around, big fan of Linus. Thanks for introducing them here!

Farmer’s market weather is right around the corner. I cannot imagine a more stylish way to get there than the Dutchi 1. Both the cream and the green are so charming. i’m not sure how I would decide;) Fingers crossed!!

My hubby and I recently relocated within 3.0 miles of my work!(he’s home-based) leaving my hour-each-way-i’m-growing-old-in-my-car freeway commute in the dust! We’ve been budgeting for a new bike for me to ride to work with the extra cash saved from living/working/thriving close to home. My bike is sad. I’ve ridden to work and it’s a mess – walking home with flat tires or gears stuck. Discouraged, I’ve given up for now, driving way more often than I should.
Winning a masterpiece Linus Bike would truly complete my locavore transformation, I could ride everywhere!
I can just imagine my perma-grin coupled with The DUTCH 1 in green complete with a Nantucket basket, brass bell in black, and handlebar bottle cage mount (what?!) Thanks for the opportunity!

My favorite is the Dutchi 1 in cream. It’s so classic and dreamy! I think it would be stellar to bike on over to a farmers market, pick up fresh fruits and veggies, throw them in “the market bag” and ride on home with the wind in my hair!

I’d love the Dutchi1 in green plus a Nantucket Basket and Wine Holder. This would be the perfect vehicle to us when heading to my “supper club” with girlfriends 🙂 The wine holder would come in especially handy!

Both of these bikes are amazing! March 26th happens to be my 28th birthday! I would love either of these bikes – as biking to my work (which is only 4.5 miles from my house) is on my life list. I have used the first few months of 2013 to get healthier – cutting hormones from my life and food, spending more time outside, etc.. This would be an amazing addition to all of that. The best part would be buying one of the brass bells! Nothing like the sound of a bike bell to make you happy.

Oh the green Dutchi1 is just the object of perfection; I’ve had a similar one on a Pinterest board ever since mine got stolen. How sweet. I’d love to cruise down Lake Michigan on one of these. What a dream.

I’ve always imagined one day zooming around the countryside on a beautiful green bike, pretending I’m straight out of an Enid Blyton book, unfortunately I live in the city and much to my sons disgust use his ugly bike to travel to work.
The Dutch1 would be much better suited ( I can even wear a skirt!)

The stars have aligned! This is my dream contest come true! I have been wanting a Linus bike for over a year. I need a sleek and safe bike for my commute from Berkeley to San Francisco and for coasting beachside with my pup Pootietang. The Roadster Classic in Cream is my all time fav.

I just moved to a big city and before we moved we sold one of our cars leaving us with only ONE. I DESPERATELY need a bike! And I desperately love the Dutch1 in SPRING! It’s my favorite on the website! (There’s also SO MANY BEAUTIFUL bike trials here, not mountain trails, but 30+miles of park trails by the river…I want I want).

I LOVE the Roadster Classic! Especially the creamy color with mahogany colored frame. It has such a classic look to it. It reminds me of “Dead Poet’s Society”. I REALLY need a bike too.. so pick me. xoxo

I love, love, LOVE all things Linus. I’d have to say the roadster classic and the rear wire basket would be the ideal companions for my daily commutes to work, school, and the grocery store! With 300 days of sun in my hometown of Denver, a bike like that would see many, many miles of love!

My favorite item would have to be “the pouch.” It would look so cute on the Dutchi 1, in cream! I just interviewed for a job that’s about 10min from my new condo. If I were to get the job, the Dutchi would get me there quick- all with my work shoes in the pouch!

Just got on the market for a new bike after I sold my beautiful Bianchi race bike that saw me through two terrible accidents. Am looking for more of a chill bike instead of racing around town. In love with the Dutch1 in cream!!!

DREAMING of the cream Dutchi 1 – these bikes are sooooo lovely and would be the perfect match for my resolution this year to bike more! It would be the prettiest way to travel to and from the farmer’s market with baskets full of flowers, fruits and vegetables to keep me company for the week to follow. Happy to have been introduced!!

Winning this bike would mean the ultimate 5 year anniversary gift for my wife – we could finally cruise down to the beach together – and the cream Dutch bike with a basket for a french bulldog would make my wife ecstatic

I have never owned a bike. Ever. And seeing this giveaway made me do cartwheels! I’m going to be enrolled in a University soon and I’m not taking a car with me. The Dutchi 1 bike in cream would be a wonderful addition to my “Things I Need To Bring To College” list. <3

what a coincidence, i was just looking at bikes online a few minutes ago! i love that classic roadster in cream, but it only comes in my size in the rosewood – which is still awesome. what a pretty set of photos and great giveaway!

AMAZEBALLS. I indeed HAVE been wanting/needing a new bike : ) Green Dutchi all the way!!

The design of all of their bikes is amazing, actually. I’m especially loving the lil’ linus line! And oh dear all the accessories! I’d probably have to pimp mine out with a rear rack, copper bell, colored basket and….key chain knife?

I love that Dutchi bike in green! I’ve been pining for a bike; I haven’t had one of my own since like junior high. I would also get the adjustable bike rack and get a baby seat (an helmet) for my baby boy!

The Dutch 1 bike in the beautiful “Spring” Green is my favorite product of Linus Bikes! The green is a great pop of color, greatly paired with any occasion or outfit! A bike like this would be an absolute dream to have for riding to and from school while carrying all my books and supplies!

A copper bell and any of the gorgeous baskets on a Mixte bike (or any of the models in any color, they’re all gorgeous!!!) would be a perfect travel companion! I would bike everywhere this summer if I had a bike like these.

Their wire basket is adorable! Their bikes are retro with a modern twist, which is my personal style! I also love all the little details they put into their products. It would be lovely to win one of them! I have been wanting one for the longest time, but unfortunately can’t afford one being a college student.

I adore the Dutchi 1 in cream!! I am Dutch and a year ago had the opportunity to finally visit the “old country” and ride borrowed bicycles around Rotterdam. Love. I have been addicted to being in the saddle through spin class since. I dont own a bike and it’s pretty gorgeous out there…

What an amazing giveaway! The Roadster Classic in cream is a gorgeous looking bike! I wouldn’t want to ride it I would want to just put it in my pocket it’s so pretty!
I also love the Gaston 5 – super sporty!

Oh my goodness! To die for! biking is my favorite and I’d been planning and making an upgrade this summer! I love the Dutchi 1. And the colors!!!! I’d definitely go for the Spring Green =) What a great give away!

Obsessing over this bike segment. I would very much love a new bike. I live in Chicago and with the warm weather right around the corner I am needing a new bike to get around the city this Summer. The Roadster Classic in Cream color would be my preference, but I’d be happy with anything with 2 wheel really. I’ll keep my fingers crossed until the giveaway is announced… and hope its MEE!!! :))

I also forgot to add my favorite product of theirs is probs the Rear Wire Basket they sell. Would be a super adorable addition to one of their bikes, as well as very helpful for lugging things around in the city.

I would sooooo love to win the bike! I moved from Germany to the US to be with my husband and had to leave my 2 bikes behind. I used to go everywhere with my bikes and never even owned a car. I resorted to spinning but that is not the same at all! I would love to have the Dutchi 1 in Spring. I looks like one of my bikes I owned (my day-to-day bike).

I would love to have a new bike and these are all so beautiful and just look like lots of fun! I would love to have one with the wire basket which reminds me of how I used to carry my lunch pail when I rode my bike to my country school.
